The word is a combination of tele—from the Greek meaning “far”—and vision, from the Latin word visionem, which means “the act of seeing.” Call it remote viewing, if you’re a sci-fi type, but “television” has until very recently meant one thing only: It’s a one-way window into another world. That’s very swiftly about to change. GetGlue, which styles itself as a “growing social network for entertainment, where you check-in and share shows, movies, music with your friends” has just revealed a new iPad app. The app, so the company says “features a reimagined guide for shows, movies, and sports” and comes with new bonus powers to “bring you the best related content about your favorite shows to the second screen.” Really, though, it’s tapping into the future of TV.
